Animal lovers enraged by Copenhagen Zoo's decision to kill a giraffe last week could barely contain their anger when a second Danish zoo said it might put down a another of the animals a few days later. Copenhagen Zoo's scientific director and other staff received death threats after their male giraffe was killed on Sunday last week to avoid inbreeding among the animals there. In a statement posted on its Facebook page on Friday under the headline "problem solved", Jyllands Park said it had now heard it would not receive a female giraffe "any time soon".
